Let's hear it for the food nazis. While I don't agree with it, I could almost see the logic in requesting that a cute cartoon animal not be used to advertise tobacco products. But French Fries?????? Get over it...

It's the law of advertising, do what you can to promote your product. For the love of pete--it's legal and constitutional to do so. Bud had Spuds MacKenzie, Burger King had the Burger King (many, many, many moons ago, of course.), Frito Lay had WC Frito. Heck, K-Mart even had Fat-head Rosie...

The food/tobacco/lifestyle nazis will stop at nothing in order to promote their control-freak agendas. Obviously, no one is able to control themselves when faced with mind-controlling cartoon characters. Evil, I tells ya, EVIL!!!

Buyer beware, says I.

Which made me make a self-promise that I would never shop there.

You've got to love the way that most European countries have banned the advertising of any cigarettes... The L&M Ducati World Superbike Racing team That big L&M logo on the side of the bike is often replaced by a big white circle!

P.S. Go Ben Bostrom!
